Saying goodbye to our old man.

The old man is who we were in Adam.

The old man was crucified.

This discussion of the old man is in reference to something - our former manner of life.

ἀναστροΦή

anastrophe;
behavior, conduct

A way of life.
 
Conduct expressed according to certain principles. (BDAG)

When it comes to this former manner of life of the old man, there were desires of the flesh AND desires of the MIND.

the Greek word behind “desires” carries with it the idea of purpose, intention, will, and plan.

When we examine WHAT IT IS about the OLD MAN that we are to PUT AWAY, …

… the package includes thoughts as well as behaviors.

The former manner of life had to do with the mind (futility), with understanding (darkened), ....

…with ignorance as opposed to truth, with a hard heart…with thinking.

“They” are the unbelievers.

The hearts of BELIEVERS are spoken of VERY DIFFERENTLY in the New Testament epistles.
